Long known for the naturalistic alloy of
jazz - inflected compositions and exotic textures that he helped pioneer with his indie - rock projects Shrimp Boat and the Sea and Cake, Prekop managed, as ever, to confound expectations with his most recent
solo release, Who's Your New Professor, an
album of airy abstractions and a chiming, unusually electric aesthetic.
He released two
solo albums that blend Senegalese musical traditions with
Jazz, Reggae, Afrobeat, and Blues, and writes music for films.
